PM Khan Decides to Host Entire PSL-5 in Pakistan

The Prime Minister—Imran Khan has taken the decision of hosting the complete Pakistan Super League—Fifth edition (PSL-5) in Pakistan next year, as per his special assistant.

Naeemul Haq—the Special Assistant to PM on Saturday, tweeted that the empty stadiums at the PSL matches in the United Arab Emirates justify the decision of the Prime Minister to shift the entire PSL to Pakistan next year.

Empty stadiums at PSL matches in UAE justify PM Imran Khan s decision to move the entire PSL to Pakistan next year. Matches inshallah will be played in all the big cities of Pakistan with jam packed stadiums.

When PSL was launched back in
2016, all the matches were held in Sharjah and Dubai, since the United Arab
Emirates has long been the second home ground for the Pakistani cricket.

Next year fixtures again were
played in the UAE, except for the final match which was played in Lahore.

Last year, that is in 2018, the 2
eliminator matches were hosted in Lahore and the final match was hosted in
Karachi.

In the current edition of the Pakistan Super League, 8 matches have been scheduled which are to be played in Pakistan, out of them 3 would be played in Lahore while the remaining 5 matches which include the final would be played in Karachi.
